EDITOR'S NOTE: Heroes and Goats from Sunday's win will post later this morning.
I have to wonder, with Anthony Rizzo now at 86 points on the Hero chart, whether or not he would have broken the 100-point mark had he not been injured. My guess is that he would have made it. Maybe next year he'll get there.
But he did break another barrier this season. More on that below.

Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Anthony Rizzo (.105). And with this Superhero award, Rizzo officially crosses the plus-50 mark on the plus/minus chart.
- Hero - Brian Schlitter (.104). Got out of a tough jam in the sixth, part of which was inherited.
- Sidekick - Edwin Jackson (.041). The last time he saw the Hero podium as a result of his pitching performance was on July 1.
THE THREE GOATS: The 0-for-4's have it in this game.
- Billy Goat - Jorge Soler (-.157). His first view from the top of the Goat podium.
- Goat - Luis Valbuena (-.153). With Saturday's podium placement he is now locked in at the top of the Goat chart for 2014. But it helps out that he's also locked into second place on the Hero chart.
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.148). As Al said in his recap, at least he only struck out once.
UPDATED RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 161 (Changes in Bold, Notations Below):
x - Player not on active roster.
y - Player not on 40-man roster.
z - Player no longer with Cubs.
